It seems that we can classify at last 5 levels of emotional
proximity with another person to ourselves, from the ability of the other
person and us to create the next 5 emotions in the following order (it is
usually called the 5-A's)
1. Being
2. Being
approved
3. Being agreeable
4. Being
5. Being admired
There is more we
can enlarge on the above. Especially on its relation to the tyranny of
inappropriate over-familiarity.
